[Tigers] Hollywood Sports Car #55

[Sandy Ganz]

Compomotive makes some that are 15" more modern looking. I think they have
them in 15-17" sizes, and 4 bolt as well as centerlock style. They are 3
piece, so likely a bit modern for the tiger, but I recall seeing a photo of
someone that had them and it didn't look bad. I have them on the mustang and
cobra (5 lug) and they do nice work (Alan is the the guys name who is the USA
dealer). They can do lots of odd things for offset and back spacing too. A
little slow, but good wheels.

They have some but might be too wide. I had a
set on yet another car that are centerlocks (BRM Style). These are cast 1
piece style.

There was a
Tiger done by doanne that was for sale a while back, had
some imitation knock
offs on it, not my style, but had a similar (if
somewhat more glitzy rather
than racer) appearance. Also if you go to
the images on the (CAT?) website
from monterey there are 2 hotrods
next to the #55 tiger that have similar
wheels, they are probably
ex-spencer hotrods, but maybe those wheels might be
more available..
otherwise look into the replica GT40 halibrand and BRM
wheels, think
they start in 15x7 that might fit a tiger.
